Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)

In physics, work is said to be done, if a force acting on a body is able to move the body through some distance in the direction of the force.
Here, the boat is not moving with respect to the bank and hence the work done by the man is zero.

Statement (A): Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of well, by means of a rope tied to the bucket, is positive.
Statement (B): In the above case, work done by the gravitational force is negative.

A rigid body of mass $m$ kg is lifted uniformly by a man to a height of one metre in $30$ sec. Another man lifts the same mass to the same height in $60$ sec. The work done on the body against gravitation in both the cases are in ratio:

A man raises a box of mass $50 k g$ to a height of $2 m$ in $2 m i n u t e s$ , while another man raises the same box to the same height in $5 m i n u t e s$ . What is the ratio of work done by them ?

A $50 k g$ man with $20 k g$ load on his head climbs up $20$ steps of $0.25 m$ height each. The minimum work done by the man on the block during climbing is
